Man of Tomorrow- Cover



This is the iconic shot of Superman from the 1940's tearing the roof off of a James Cagney-like getaway car. i have included the black and white painting before colour was applied.

T.h.u.n.d.e.r agents


I have a really old issue of Thunderagents that my dad bought for me in 1983! I love the characters, especially Raven. So I went about creating a cover design.

Dr. Lector


Is there a more predatorial look than that of our dear friend Dr. Lector. This painting is currently residing in the Laidlaw-Grundy residence.

Man of Action - study


Just having a play with the iconic image of the hero ripping open a shirt and exposing the costume, I left it blank to perhaps incorporate a logo later for the cover of an art book.

Captain America 'The Southern Cross' page 7


This is the latest installation in the series, conclusion in the next double page finale.

Golden Age Superman


This is a study I did in Gouache as a building block for the cover art on the 1940's, 'Man of Tomorrow' art I am working on. I wanted to see how it would look with the briefs and the different symbol. I really like the way that the Superman of the 40's had a rougher edge to him. and a lot more solid in the chest area, very much like George Reeves.

Captain America - Study


This small artwork was a quick study I did a little while ago but it formed the beginnings for the sequential pages previously posted.
